He was not a fool, nor an impulsive idiot. He knew that everything Nanako said was right.
If the Po Qing Society grasped his identity and information in the future, the Wilson family of three would certainly become their second-highest target for assassination after himself.
He also knew that the special circumstances of his family had long seriously affected his cultivation. Whether it was the ring Lin Wan’er gave him or the handprint that appeared in the Northern Lights, they were still mysteries to him because he had never had the time to truly retreat without distractions.
He understood the reasoning, but the pain of separation was also real. That was his wife of six years of marriage! Although there had been no marital relations in the first six years, just the night before last on his birthday, she had just…
Thinking of this, Charlie wade felt even more heartbroken.
He choked inwardly and sighed, “Claire clearly prepared to leave me long ago, but she still accompanied me through my birthday, even giving herself to me on that day… Moreover, since she knows my identity, she must also know about my engagement with Nannan, but even so, she still went with me to Eastcliff to see Nannan’s last concert… And I did not even have the chance to tell her my true identity in person…”
Charlie wade suddenly felt that he owed Claire Wilson too much. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind: find Claire Wilson, confess everything to her, reveal all secrets. If she was willing to accept the real him, they would be together properly. If she could not forgive him and refused to turn back, he still wanted to hear her answer in person.
But how to find Claire Wilson?
He immediately wiped away his tears and said to Nanako, “Nanako, help me contact Xion. The He family has served the Banks family for many years and has rich experience. Let her and the He family help me investigate Claire’s whereabouts. Start now, every second counts!”
Nanako said without hesitation, “Okay, Charlie wade-kun, I will tell Xion right away. Is there anything else I can do?”
After saying that, without waiting for Charlie wade’s answer, she quickly added, “How about I dispatch a group of ninjas from Japan? Their combat strength is not that strong, but their ability to track and trace is absolutely top-notch. Having them come should help.”
Since the great chaos in Tokyo, the Ito family had subdued most of Japan’s ninja families. These ninjas had sworn allegiance to the Ito family and were on standby 24 hours a day.
Charlie wade had dealt with ninjas. As Ito Nanako said, these ninjas’ strength was not impressive, but their tracking and anti-tracking abilities were first-class, as was their concealment. Ordinary martial artists might be stronger than ninjas, but if a ninja was determined to hide and not be found, even a martial artist much stronger might not be able to find them, unless it was someone like himself, a cultivator who could sense with spiritual energy, making ninjas nowhere to hide.
Since Stephen Thompson had planned this in advance, Claire Wilson’s departure path must be confusing. The ninjas might really come in handy.
So, he thanked her, “Thank you, Nanako. Please arrange for those Japanese ninjas, but be sure to instruct them that after arriving in China, they must not cause trouble or create incidents. Focus all their attention on finding the person.”
“No problem, Charlie wade-kun.” Nanako quickly said, “Charlie wade-kun, no need to be so polite with me. Not just those ninjas, as long as Charlie wade-kun says the word, the entire Ito family, from top to bottom, will obey your command!”
Charlie wade felt moved in his heart but did not keep saying thanks. Instead, he said seriously, “Nanako, since Claire could leave a letter for me at home, it proves her departure path starts from home. Have the He family start investigating immediately. When your ninjas arrive, have them meet with Xion and temporarily follow her coordination.”
Charlie wade had long experienced Xion Banks’s abilities.
At a young age, she could lead a large group of Banks family experts across the ocean to Japan and exterminate the Matsumoto family. If not for encountering him, they would have withdrawn smoothly and completed the mission perfectly. Having her command the operation was absolutely no issue.
Nanako naturally had no objections and immediately said, “No problem, Charlie wade-kun. I will have them prepare now and arrive in China before dark!”
Charlie wade then said, “Thank you for your trouble, Nanako.”
Nanako asked, “When does Charlie wade-kun plan to return?”
Charlie wade said, “I want to go back as soon as possible, but Steward Stephen’s last appearance was in Australia. He should still be in Australia at this stage. I want to try and see if I can find him. After all, he is the most crucial link. Without finding him, I will never figure out what secrets he still holds!”
